professional arts project manager (such as the Public Arts Officer) to coordinate all aspects of the commission, and assist with projects and problems as they arise. Public art specialist staff will deal with policy development, public engagement and project management. Where possible this expense should be absorbed into the overall project budget as a category of consultancy fees, along with other professional consultancy fees such as that of the Quantity Surveyor, Architect, Engineer, etc. Where this is not possible it must be borne in mind, as stated above in para 4.4 that the funding under the per cent for art scheme should be used to the greatest extent possible for the commissioning or acquisition of art. 5.2 Commissioning Commissioning bodies, can develop projects through a variety of public art procurement processes.These include: 1 Open Competition 2 Limited Competition 3 Direct Invitation or Purchase Commissioners may wish to utilise a number of public art procurement processes on a particular project. Careful planning and expert advice is essential for the success of such an approach. See Appendix 3 (page 44) for details on how to implement each of the commissioning options. 5.3 Stages of a Public Art Project Public art projects and commissions can be broadly divided into five key stages: 1 Planning 2 Selection 3 Research and Development 4 Realisation 5 Review A clear record of each stage should be maintained for overall review purposes. 28 PER CENT FOR ART SCHEME
STAGE 1 – PLANNING Context In commissioning public art context is paramount. Context can be described as the environment in which a commission is planned and realised. Commissioners are encouraged to adopt a researched and flexible approach to the context for a commission.This will allow the art project to make connections with the capital construction project and the environment connected with that project. Public Art Working Group A Public Art Working Group should be established at an early stage in the capital project design process. Early consideration is important to ensure the necessary connections are made between the design process and the context for the arts project. Artistic expertise is essential at this stage and should represent a minimum of two members of the group. The overall membership of the Public Art Working Group should be drawn as comprehensively as possible to ensure a broad base of support for the process and it helps to have direct support from senior personnel within the commissioning body. The size and composition of this group will depend on the level of expertise required and on the complexity of the project and will require careful consideration in order to achieve the best outcome. It is good practice to include: ● ● ● ● ● ● Professional practising artist(s), minimum one, preferably two Independent Art Curator(s) or Artistic Advisor(s) such as Public Arts Officer or Local Authority Arts Officer, minimum one, preferably two Construction Project Manager Representative(s) of the Design Team such as Architect or Engineer Representative(s) of the Building Users, Client or Stakeholders Other relevant expertise or local social or community representatives The role of a Public Art Working Group should include: ● ● ● ● Research into the full scope of the capital project and the development of a vision for the related public art project(s) Setting out clear aims and objectives for the commissioning project or programme Development of the artists brief, setting out the process for procurement and criteria for selection Decisions on the membership of the project selection panel. Commissioners may wish to include members of the Public Art Working Group in the project STAGE 1 – PLANNING 29
